Comment on Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp
Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 3 weeks agoYour reasoning would hold up if 80% of xmpp wasn’t running on Conversations or forks of it, that all support OMEMO and OpenPGP.
Your criticisms are too broad. What makes extensions powerful is that they can easily change the rules without breaking the underlying system.
Clients? That’s the clients problem, and you have choices, and if your problem is metadata, whoooo boy.

So much cope you didn’t even notice no-one mentioned matrix. We are comparing with Signal.

That’s their problem. If their messages aren’t encrypted, it isn’t like you won’t be aware of it. Request that they use a modern client and get with the times. None of this is an actual problem without easy solutions.

Then let us know when it is solved. Until then, I have a lot more hope in matrix than XMPP. They at least seems to be making progress in the right direction, although they are not there yet either.
